General Ledger

In AS-Lingo you can choose to use any of the standard Ledgers available world wide or you can decide to use your own ledger.

If you are a subsidiary of a global enterprise, then you may be located in a country where specific ledgers are mandatory (e.g. US GAAP or IFRS as well as any of the many General Ledger Frameworks used across Europe). That’s not a problem in AS-Lingo because ledgers can be mapped to comply with any central corporate ledger to enable consolidation in a global environment. AS-Lingo also supports the reporting of electronic balance sheets as legally required by some European countries. The XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format of these reports is based on the taxonomy issued by the financial authorities of these countries.

You can also assign GL-Accounts to any number of Dimensions allowing you to assign accounts or transactions to business relevant entities and thus connect transactions to be viewed and reported from many different aspects of your business. You could for example take a look at your companies performance from the point of view of a project, a department or a specific product range that has recently been introduced to the market.

Connect accounts receivable to the rest of the business for a financially consistent view. AS-Lingo gives you a single view of quotes, sales orders, and invoices. Order transactions are automatically linked to your general ledger and accounts receivable ledger, so you can streamline billing and accounting. And it offers up-to-date, accurate sales tax calculations.

AS-Lingo gives you real-time visibility with built-in and configurable reporting. Get a complete picture of customer aging, invoice analyses, recurring invoices, deferred revenue, and more. AS-Lingo lets you analyse your accounts receivable data by a variety of business drivers, which you yourself can create, for a complete view from every perspective.

A simple scenario showing how easy it is to automate a complex process in AS-Lingo:

Let AS-Lingo create a payment proposal or direct debit proposal with just a single mouse-click.

Edit the proposal online to make changes to vendor account transactions to delete, postpone or add payments as needed and print the proposal for audit purposes.

One more click to release the proposal for payment and pick up all the reports from AS-Lingo’s Document Manager where you’ll find

the cover letters to be sent/emailed to your suppliers and also

the payment lists and audit reports showing the details of the payment / direct debit process

the payment file(s) which you can (automatically) transmit to your bank(s) for clearing

All Payments have now been allocated to the open items on the vendor accounts.

Reporting

The market requires you to provide faster and more granular visibility into what’s driving company performance. AS-Lingo gives you the best financial reporting of any accounting system. It tracks operational and financial data — by business driver — to give you superior reporting power and a complete view of your organisation. And what’s best about that is: You don’t have to play around with tools to create your own reports! The “Just click” approach is mostly limited to simple “run of the mill” reports for 80% of the people to create 20% of the important reports needed. To create any kind of report — with exactly the metrics that matter to investors, executive teams, and leaders in finance, sales, and other departments, we at AS-Lingo will deliver the exact reports that you need when you need them. Where ever you are in world, we can deliver the reports you need within hours — often within minutes. See more in Service.

You can use dimensions to capture the business context of your transactions, operational measures, and budgets in AS-Lingo. Naturally these can be integrated in your reports to analyse real-time business performance by business drivers without having to manage a chart of accounts with hundreds of segments. However, the majority of really high value reports need to include many more items and attributes than dimensions. That is why we guarantee to produce your reports for you that allow you to incorporate any of the relevant data inside your AS-Lingo Enterprise Database — a task that any reporting utility cannot deliver.

AS-Lingo tracks and reports on both financial and operational data — like square footage, available storage space, SaaS metrics or other measures important to your business. With all your financial and operational data in one place, you can easily get more reports, more information, and more insight about your business.

Given AS-Lingo’s Enterprise Database, your financial reporting and analysis options are practically endless with AS-Lingo. See operational statistics alongside financial metrics. Check on summary roll-up figures for multiple entities at any time. Drill down to source transactions on the spot. Flag trends and spot exceptions and compare performance across any business driver that matters to you, right within the system. Many reports come built-in, and we’ll create custom reports for you, so there’s no need to resort to Excel, wait on report customization projects, or rely on external reporting tools.

Get the the up-to-date Profit&Loss Statement or Balance Sheet any day in the month, any time in the day at the push of a button within less than a second. And the same goes for any other report you have defined and we have delivered to you only hours after you have requested it.

Projects

Managing and controlling projects, project financials, contracts, and resources is difficult, detailed work — even if you don’t have to cope with lots of disparate systems. In AS-Lingo you take full control of your projects and project accounting. So you can be sure to start and finish projects on time, stay on top of project costs and revenue, and keep projects productive and profitable.

AS-Lingo shows you the true costs of past projects, so you can make smarter project bids. It integrates with your CRM system, so you can see what’s coming in the pipeline, line up the right people and materials, and turn bids into projects without manual data re-entry.

Keep projects on track and clients happy. Establish the proper workflows for entering time and expenses, and give team members online access for doing so. Keep close watch on actuals against estimates. And answer client questions about things like resources or invoices—without delay.

AS-Lingo’s billing automation helps you generate project invoices in the right format, using the right terms and for the right amounts. AS-Lingo also keeps revenue recognition separate from billing and automates calculations and postings for you, based on milestones, schedule, or percentage completion.

Consult a single source for role-specific reports. If you’re on the project delivery side, you can give clients and colleagues answers about things like milestones and invoicing status. If you’re on the accounting side, you can give management insight on matters such as why contract labor costs are increasing or how to improve profit margins.
